A Russian patrol aircraft has spotted the place of landing of both pilots of the MiG-31 [NATO reporting name Foxhound] which had crashed in the country's Far East, the Russian defense Ministry said Saturday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Friday, the Russian military lost contact on Friday with a MiG-31 interceptor, which was carrying out a training mission in Russia's Far East.

"The crew of the [patrol] Il-38 [NATO reporting name May] aircraft has visually recorded the pilots, their parachutes and a signal fire," the ministry said in a statement.

The pilots will be evacuated when the weather conditions improve, according to the ministry.
